Where the evil villain will go on a rant about how society is cruel and needs to change and that they're going to change it. The hero opposes this for like zero reasons and somehow we're supposed to be on the hero's side.

Are we really supposed to believe that our society doesn't need to change? Are we supposed to cheer for the status quo even when it's shown to be terrible?

I also hate the sympathetic villain trope where it's shown that the villain is the product of abuse and yet their want for revenge is still treated as unjustified.

    Also if you cut a population in half that grows exponentially, you’re doing O(n^2) work for O(log n) results to at best kick the can down the road

      Sounds like Thanos should have been promoting birth control/family planning/equitable resource distribution instead of genociding half the universe.
